Using your 23andMe data in Plink : Gene Expression

23andMe’s interpretive results are pretty rich now, but there are still things missing. There are plenty of third party tools you can use, but I know some people might want to do their own data analysis. There are many ways you could go about this, but I want to put up some posts on DIY genomic data analysis to making the learning curve a little less steep, and get people started.

Motivation to actually begin going down this road is a big issue, but I think once you get over the hump it gets a lot easier. First, you need Plink. Plink is a command line tool, which means that you need to into the folder with the old MS-DOS interface. Now you have Plink. If you are on Windows you need to get ActivePerl.

Basically there needs to be a file for the script to process. Now you need to just select the button and enter your password. There are two output files. You can see a lot of information. 23++ Chrome Extension. 23++ is an extension for the Google Chrome web browser that adds additional functionality to 23andMe and makes the site a little nicer to use.

23++ Chrome Extension

It does not work in Internet Explorer or Firefox, only Google Chrome. It absolutely does not: Download, copy or otherwise steal your data – see Privacy & SecurityChange anything in your account, ever. Get more from your data. There are a number of services outside of 23andMe to which you can submit your raw data to obtain alternative interpretations or analysis.

Some will also take data from Family Tree DNA & deCODEme. Here’s a list of the most popular to get you started. Dr. Doug McDonald Doug McDonald will perform BioGeographical Ancestry (BGA) testing of your data file to determine where your ancestors are likely to be from (similar to Ancestry Painting).

DecodeMe - tests for the expensive stuff DecodeMe's service is very similar in a lot of ways, but different in price ($2,000 for DecodeMe vs $500 for 23andMe) and in a few crucial tests.

DecodeMe & 23andMe - Comparison Review

In terms of process, you swipe the inside of your cheek with a couple of special swabs, and return by Fedex to their sample collection center. These are then shipped to Iceland where your genome is decode and analyzed. It took me about 2 weeks to get results, similar to 23andMe. The results that are presented, both for health conditions and for your genealogical/ancestral background, are strikingly similar to that of 23andMe. Have to choose? I suspect that for many people, the price difference alone will make 23andMe the more attractive option. Personal Genome Project - Homepage. Genomes Unzipped.

Personal genomics. Dr Neeta Tailor is an anaesthetist working at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Wales.

Dr Tailor recently treated a friend of Genomes Unzipped members (referred to here as Patient X) who required emergency surgery following some unusual and fairly horrible complications (believe me, I’ve seen the photos!) From wisdom tooth removal. The remarkable thing about this case: prior to surgery the patient volunteered information about her potential drug responses based on her 23andMe profile, including variation in one gene that could have had a profound effect on her response to a standard muscle relaxant. Dr Tailor kindly agreed to write up her experience in this guest post. For those interested in the genetic details: Patient X’s 23andMe results suggest she is heterozygous for the rs1799807 SNP, which induces an aspartate to glycine change in the BCHE gene and is associated with a substantially prolonged apnea (loss of breathing) following administration of succinylcholine.

Family Tree DNA - Genetic Genealogy Starts Here. ENCODE Project at UCSC. 12 Sept 2013 - New UDR ENCODE Download Method Available The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to offer a new download protocol to use when downloading large sets of files from our download servers: UDR (UDT Enabled Rsync).

ENCODE Project at UCSC

UDR utilizes rsync as the transport mechanism, but sends the data over the UDT protocol, which enables huge amounts of data to be downloaded more efficiently over long distances.

Also the ENCODE Quick Reference Card is now available in PDF courtesy of OpenHelix on the ENCODE Education and Outreach page. ENCODE and modENCODE Projects.

The ENCODE Project: ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements Follow the ENCODE Project on: ENCODE Overview The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) launched a public research consortium named ENCODE, the Encyclopedia Of DNA Elements, in September 2003, to carry out a project to identify all functional elements in the human genome sequence.

ENCODE and modENCODE Projects

The project started with two components - a pilot phase and a technology development phase. The pilot phase tested and compared existing methods to rigorously analyze a defined portion of the human genome sequence (See: ENCODE Pilot Project). And Genome Research [genome.org]. With the success of the initial phases of the ENCODE Project, NHGRI funded new awards in September 2007 to scale the ENCODE Project to a production phase on the entire genome along with additional pilot-scale studies.
